Mission 1: In an Unfamiliar Land

Your very first steps into the Hisui region are fraught with confusion and wonder. "In an Unfamiliar Land" is the introductory mission that sets the stage for your grand adventure, introducing you to key characters, the world's premise, and your initial objectives. This mission focuses on your arrival, your induction into the Galaxy Expedition Team, and your first taste of the wild Pokémon encounters.

The mission begins with you mysteriously falling from the sky and landing in the Hisui region. You'll be found by Professor Laventon, a researcher studying the Pokémon of this ancient land. After a brief introduction and a tutorial on basic movement and interaction, Professor Laventon will guide you to the Pearl Clan's home base. Here, you'll meet some of the clan members and witness your first wild Pokémon battle, where you'll learn the basics of catching Pokémon using a Poké Ball. Following this encounter, you'll be instructed to return to Jubilife Village to report to Commander Kamado.

Upon arriving in Jubilife Village, you'll be formally welcomed into the Galaxy Expedition Team. Commander Kamado will explain the team's mission: to study and understand the Pokémon of Hisui, and to investigate the strange rifts appearing across the land. You'll receive your Arc Phone, a crucial device that will serve as your guide throughout your journey. Your first official task will be to prove your worth by catching a specific number of Pokémon and demonstrating your ability to research them. This involves:

Catching Pokémon: You'll need to catch several Pokémon to fill out your Pokédex. The game will guide you on how to approach and throw Poké Balls effectively.
Research Tasks: For each Pokémon, you'll have specific research tasks to complete, such as observing them, catching them, or defeating them in battle.
Reporting to Professor Laventon: You'll need to report your findings and progress to Professor Laventon, who will provide further guidance and insights.

The mission culminates in your successful induction into the Survey Corps. You'll be assed your first research tasks and given access to the wider world of Hisui. This initial mission is designed to be a comprehensive tutorial, ensuring you understand the core mechanics of the game, from movement and combat to catching and research. Don't rush through it; take the time to interact with the characters and explore the initial areas to get a feel for the game's atmosphere and gameplay loop. Successfully completing "In an Unfamiliar Land" unlocks new areas, new missions, and the ability to craft items, laying the groundwork for your extensive exploration of the Hisui region.
